The measures will help tenants who rent privately
|
The Government is planning to set up a website where tenants can post views on their landlord and accommodation to help improve the private rented sector
Users will be able to provide feedback on the website, as well as ringing a housing hotline which will offer advice to tenants, there is also a possible move to make written agreements between tenants and landlords a legal requirement. This would ensure that tenants are clear about their rights from the start of the contract.
John Healey, Housing Minister, said: ‘’Over three million families live in private rented housing and while the majority are happy with their homes and landlords, many do face problems. Every tenant should be confident in their decision to rent as well as be clear what to expect before they sign on the dotted line.”
A new National Landlord Register is also being launched so tenants can see how prospective landlords maintain their properties and how quickly they fix any faults. Additionally there will be tougher regulations to drive out rogue letting agents.
‘’That’s why I’m making information about the track record of landlords available to everyone and written tenancy agreements will mean all tenants are clear about their rights from the outset.’’
Under new changes students and seasonal workers will be included as having tenancy rights, providing protection for a further 150,000 people.
COMMENTS
It’s very crucial decision has taken by the government. Now the tenants would have their own platform on which they can put their problems and view against the householders.

I admire this decision of the government.This plans really helps to those who have no homes and living on the rents.I love this part that there should be a written agreement b/w both tenants and landlords.

There some who would think a Landlord’s registry to be a bad idea. It does carry a high chance of costing the landlord more money and time on their holdings. Yet after living in rentals over three states and 7 cities I can testify that a national standard is a good thing. Too many landlords are allowed to rent out buildings that are in ill-repair before a tenant moves in. Some landlords will us carpet that stains easily, or pain that damages easily, so they can keep the full amount of deposit on a rental. Often a tenant in my experience has been faced with a long wait for minor repairs causing a bad situation to develop into a major problem. I would welcome this registry with open arms.

Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours. Gold Coast Accommodation

How is Obama qualified to help fix the private sector if he has almost no private sector experience?
